[Asterisk-Users] Wait for X rings before answering?
We found that different phones and even different rings on the same phone had different timimgs. For example, one phone would ring every 2 seconds and another would ring every 3.

Most telcos (and I assume this is true in AU as well) have a standard right cycle in the CO. In the US, its something like 6 seconds. What a telephone instrument does in terms of ringing has nothing to do with it. It can play songs, show a video, or whatever. If you have callerid configured, then asterisk will consume one ring cycle looking for the callerid _before_ it jumps to extensions.conf context. But, from a user perspective, they still hear ringback even though you don't have any phones ringing as yet. Calculate accordingly. ------------------------> > We found that different phones and even different rings on the same phone haddifferent timimgs.> > For example, one phone would ring every 2 seconds and another would ring every 3. > > PaulH > > > Robert La Ferla <robertlaferla@comcast.net> wrote: > > > > I realize that it's a timeout but what's implicit in that is that > > Asterisk can't detect # of rings just the amount of time spent ringing? > > > > I have been looking at the reference manual on asteriskguru.com.
